Obviously this is a very simplistic example but the point is you can record anything. You can also hand edit the log or perhaps have a shell script create parts of it. This would allow you to automate other things, like login to a site and posting.
And yes, all of this can be done other ways. You could script up curl in a shell script, write a little python program, make a web browser extension, etc.
What is interesting to me about this is the simplicity of recording and replaying a session. Perhaps it is not as powerful as other methods but it is very easy to create one of these scripts by just recording your browsing.
Anyway, maybe it is of little use to anyone but… now you know. 🤷🏼
